Later in the same frame, Byfuglien broke in all alone on Domingue, ripping a shot that found its way under the netminder’s pad to make it 5-1. While the goal was pretty enough on its own, the hulking defenseman went to the next level with his celebration, bringing the dab to the NHL.

Byfuglien finished the night with three points, adding an assist on the first of rookie Nikolaj Ehlers’s three goals on the night, and now has 29 points in 49 games on the season. His 14 goals are tied with Arinzona’s Oliver Ekman-Larsson and Carolina’s Justin Faulk for the second-highest total among blue liners, four behind San Jose’s Brent Burns.
